500mm Digital Precision Caliper Vertical Stainless Steel, Capacitive System, DIN 862 - Metav IndustryLine

Take advantage of the combination of a 500 mm measuring range, a capacitive digital system and DIN 862 compliance for reliable in‑line measurement and straightforward integration; order the unit via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for system adaptation.

Metav IndustryLine Digital built-in caliper M218.258 — 500 mm, capacitive

The Digital built-in caliper M218.258 is a vertical, stainless digital caliper designed for medium‑range workshop and machine integration, offering precise, repeatable measurements for components up to 500 mm.

• 500 mm measuring range for larger components
• Capacitive digital system with mm/inch toggle
• Bidirectional measurement capability
• Compliant with DIN 862 standard

Accurate reach for medium assemblies and jigs

This caliper falls into the medium range category (measuring range up to 500 mm), which delivers the best compromise between reach and stiffness when inspecting larger assemblies, fixtures or housings. The 0.01 mm resolution provides clear, digital read‑out detail, while the declared ±0.05 mm accuracy gives a predictable error band for routine quality control. These characteristics make the instrument suitable for production checks where traceable, repeatable readings are required without the complexity of sub‑micron laboratory devices.

Reliable digital output for traceable workflows

Equipped with a capacitive measuring system and a multifunction display, the unit simplifies data capture and process control. The display includes ON/OFF, mm/inch, 0/ABS, TOL, DIR and HOLD functions to support quick mode changes on the shop floor. Data export is provided via RB 5 for integration into SPC and machine control systems, reducing manual transcription and enabling fast feedback loops. The result is a measurable reduction in non‑value time and a more efficient inspection routine.

Built for shop‑floor durability and reproducibility

The vertical, stainless design supports installation in embedded or built‑in applications where space and orientation are constrained. Bidirectional measurement capability ensures consistent readings whether approaching a dimension from positive or negative travel, improving reproducibility across operators. Compliance with DIN 862 underlines the caliper’s conformity to recognised mechanical standards, and the unit’s construction focuses on longevity and stable performance in industrial environments.
